Im thinking of doing the same thing but going to Japan instead.The TELF certificate run by Oxford seminars has a really good reputaion here in Canada.Though i keep wondering how you teach to people who dont know enslish and when you dont know thier language either.

Me too, i was and still thinking and planning to take that course (TELF, TESOL or CELTA). I would like to upgrade myself and if getting that certificate would help me lead to a better position in teaching, of course, that would be great. Well, i had already 3 years of experince teaching to korean students in different levels, with different kinds and background of students (elementary to adult). At first, i didn't know any single word but then when you are in the classroom, you will know it little by little. And i'm sure on the first day in your teaching the school provide you a translator (if necessary)... Don't put to hard effort to learn their language it will just come to you by having free conversation witht he students.
Hmm, actually i want to take that CELTA or TESOL because i'm looking forward to work in the Dutch speaking community...
